Professional Video won't play back on laptop

I've seen others post this with no answer....
DJI Phantom 3 pro: using android (Galaxy S5)

video was set to 4K and (3840 x 2160) 30 frames per second, and recording as .MOV format

I fly and record video just fine, and make sure to stop recording before turning off the phone or bird. I can preview and play the video just fine on my phone, but.....
When I connect the bird to my laptop and download the video to my laptop, it will not play. It says video cannot be played. I use windows media player, and have tried other players. I just now changed the video settings to:

I'm going to fly now, and then download the video to my laptop to see if it will play. But, while I'm gone I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to why my 4K video will play on phone but now on my laptop??

I am new to this site and have not located an answer to my question before posting this. Can the 4k camera be replaced with a 2.7 camera on the P3P? The video is great on the 4k, but a pain to edit/play/convert. Thank you in advance.

Also take into consideration that 4K video at 30fps creates rather large files with an enormous bitrate, unless you have a decent graphics card on your PC or laptop, the video will play choppy (if at all). I have several laptops, and the only one that plays 4K content is my Razer Blade Pro, which has 16GB RAM and 4GB Nvidia Graphics card and a Core i7 8core processor. Even with those specs, windows media player wouldn't play the 4K content correctly, it was choppy and didn't look right. I didn't know that VLC was 4K compliant, I may have to try that one when I get home. If you need to test the 4K capability of any PC or laptop just search youtube for 4K content or 4K test files...you'll find em

You will need a very good pc to even playback 4K files let alone edit them.
I went to my local computer shop to see how much it would cost to build a pc capable of editing 4K video... After the chap in the shop stopped laughing he put together a spec similar to Spunone69 suggested.
32Gb of ram
Intel i7
4/8Gb graphics
Solid state drive.
It all came to around £1700 for the parts!..
So now we save! ££££

Well good news that the latest 1.5.X firmware has enabled the P3Pros with 2.7K.
